Why did Clinton and the democrates lie to President Bush?

Question

All of them said Saddam had WMD's.
Clinton even ordered air strikes against WMD facilities.

Answer 1

Are you serious when you ask about Clinton lying? Isn't this the same Clinton who said."I never had sex with that woman?" Is this the same Clinton who had information on Moussauri, one of the suspected hijackers on 9/11, but advised that the FBI hold off on examining his laptop? (Reported on Time Magazines website)
The same Clinton who had Osama Bin Laden in his sights but told intelligence not to go through with the plan on capturing him? Didn't the Democrats sanction the war in Iraq and now lie about that too? Clinton's own intelligence told him about a possibility of attack on our soil utilizing our own airliners, but he continued to undermine the intelligence agencies and emasculate the military.
And you wonder if he, and the Dems would lie about anything else?

Answer 2

The president gets to see intelligence that members of congress do not get to see. One example of this intelligence is called the PDB (Presidential Daily Brief)

Can you imagine how little security our nation would have if all 100 senators, and all 435 members of Congress had access to the intelligence that passes that desk in the Oval Office?

The fact is, Bush cooked and manipulated this intelligence to justify war with Iraq.

We had inspectors on the ground in Iraq who requested a mere 6 more months to finish their work into Saddam's supposed WMD programs, but Bush pulled these inspectors out before they could complete their job, yet these inspectors were adamant in telling Bush they could find no WMD.

What president, in his right mind, would take our nation to war without being certain of the truth?

As far as Clinton, despite what he said at the time, Clinton did not make the mistake of marching our young sons and daughters into downtown Baghdad.

That's the big difference right there...Clinton knew the risks involved, and he knew invading Iraq would outweigh any possible benefit. It's called common sense and intelligence, both of which Bush lacks.

The only lying that was done, was done by Bush & company.

Answer 3

Everyone seems to forget that we supplied Iraq with those weapons of mass destruction in the 80's.

Before we invaded Iraq in 2003, Hans Blix of the U.N. inspection team said that the U.S. needed to give his team more time to do a thorough inspection of Iraq.

What happened? We didn't find and WMD's.

All it proves is that the sanctions were working and we should have let the U.N. inspection team continue on with their inspection.

Now, if after the U.N. did their inspection, then if they would have said that Iraq had WMD's; I would have said let's go to war.

The one thing about Sadaam was that he knew how to play to the cameras. He would have never done anything while under the scrutiny of the whole world.

I have always wondered why we couldn't have waited a few more months before invading Iraq while the U.N. inspection team did their job.

Remember, President Bush said we could go it alone. Here's my question. Have we really gone it alone? Nope!!!!

Now we ask countries for help on a continual basis. We're worried about Turkey and China being angered over things that the U.S. is accusing them of.

In a nutshell, if you haven't figured out that politicians sleep in the same bed, wake up and smell the coffee.

Answer 4

There were no lies about the WMD from anyone. Saddam insisted there were none and he was right, however he intentionally followed through the motions to indicated they were there and he was lying. This war against Iraq was brought on by Saddam wanting the other countries, not just America, to believe he really had the weapons. That intentional attempt to mislead the world cost him dearly.

Answer 5

The reason that Clinton chose not to take action against Saddam, is because he was preoccupied with the Monica business.
He really knew that Saddam had these weapons, because he attacked the Kurds w/ them. ---His failure to act gave Saddam the time he needed to hide or destroy these weapons. Then some Dems. wanted to give him 6 more months while the inspectors searched for them.---This is the advice we got from those who call Bush dumb.

Answer 6

Lies are the lib trade mark....its just a way of life for them..and then they point their crooked finger at others and accuse them of being exactly what they the libs are...they couldn't get away with it if it wasn't for their lap dog the press....in my eyes, the major main stream media are worse then the dems...their job is to point out inconsistency's .....but they only accuse conservatives of that all the while turning a blind eye to the libs lies and diversions...its disgusting and destroying this great nation.

Answer 7

Oh, that's funny. Clinton has been accused for lying constantly since he lied about Monica. But now you expect people to believe that the Bush administration believed him this one time. Give me a break. Don't blame the mess we are in on Clinton.

Answer 8

When did Clinton, or any democrat present fraudulent Nigerian "yellow cake papers" to get war support?

huge difference between speculating on something, and investigating your beliefs, and saying you know for sure, when it is only speculation, then acting upon speculation....something your type will never understand.


you wouldn't be speaking of the same Clinton that complained that a republican majority's airline security/anti-terrorism bill was too weak, clear up until he left office, 9 months prior to September 11th, would you?

Answer 9

Allah praise Bill Clinton and sacrificed a goat for Him.


Bill Clinton's a whore.

Answer 10

Clinton,. the one that sat down with Bush and told him that

Al Queda and Bin Laden were our biggest enemies !!!

And that they were planning attacks on the U S A, possibly using our own airliners!!!

As Bush demonstrated on that occasion, he didn't listen to Clinton, so why are you using Clinton as a back up for Bush ?

Flip
"The most important thing is for us to find Osama bin Laden. It is our number one priority and we will not rest until we find him." G.W. Bush, 9/13/01
Washington Post, 9/17/01, UPI: Bush said he wants accused terrorist leader Osama bin Laden "dead or alive.” “I want justice...There's an old poster out West, as I recall, that said, 'Wanted: Dead or Alive,'"- G.W. Bush, 9/17/01, UPI
AP, 12/14/01: President Bush pledged anew Friday that Osama bin Laden will be taken "dead or alive."

FLOP:
Capturing OBL no longer a priority:
G.W. Bush, 3/13/02: I don't know where Bin Laden is. I have no idea and really don't care. It's not that important. It's not our priority."
